What is the \"Divided\" part? Two Gospels. Each of great authority. That is why the Gospel of John is different from the Gospels of Mark, Luke, and Matthew.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eModern scholars work from the presumption that Jesus and apostles could not have taught Christianity. So, texts that imply developed doctrine or Church are declared later than apostles. Thus, they discard any evidence that does not fit their theory, all but seven letters of Saint Paul. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eJesus Christ Divided\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the scholarly paradigm of the boring Jesus by recovering the evidence that scholars discarded. Within the letters of Saint Paul are unobtrusive details that form a web of connections that permit the reconstruction of the order of their writing. In chronological order, the letters outline a coherent narrative that proves their authenticity and tells the story of the first schism. Because the story was hidden for 1,900 years, it could not have been manipulated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Is Christ divided?\" asks Saint Paul, rhetorically in 1 Corinthians. Now, we can answer his question, because his question was more than rhetorical. This book is a reset on early Christian history, and one of the most important books ever written on the New Testament. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReveals without speculation: The secret identity of the Antichrist.
